1. RATIONALE.

Technicians of mechanical engineering disciplines are expected to work during most of their
career at middle level. They are also expected to deal with workforce and management
problems. In the present era of competition, optimum utilization of the resources with
achieving higher productivity is essential for any industry to survive. Quality and cost
controls are also other important factors which contribute to the day to day supervision
issues. This course aims to deal effectively with such issues along with familiarization of
acts and laws applied to industries.

2. COMPETENCY.
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop required
skills in the students so that they are able to acquire following competencies.

 Recognize organization structure, human resource issues in industries and

major provisions of factory acts.
 Plan, use, monitor and control resources optimally and economically.

3. COURSE OUTCOMES (COs).

The theory should be taught and practical should be carried out in such a manner that students
are able to acquire different learning outcomes in cognitive, psychomotor and affective
domain to demonstrate following course outcomes.
i. Interpret given organization structure, culture, climate and major provisions of
factory acts and laws.
ii. Explain material requirement planning and store keeping procedure.
iii. Plot and analyze inventory control models and techniques.
iv. Prepare and analyze CPM and PERT for given activities.
v. List and explain PPC functions.
